Forgot to upload - my wife and I a week ago. I’d love to get her a 41mm RO some day, although she likes the cyclops on the Rolex to help with the date.

She’s a Marine too.

A 37mm or 38mm would be perfect on her, I think, unless she likes the oversized pieces. Honestly, most women can make any piece look great.

She has a classic Tank Cartier and loves the look but hates trying to tell time on it. She is definitely on the side of women who like the slightly more oversized pieces even if that largely stems from a legibility perspective.

Thanks. New 15510 is apparently now the same blue as the jumbo which is cool.

They’ve made a new machine for the dial to change the tapisserie texture. Imperceptible to mere mortals like us but a big difference to those further down the rabbit hole.

Yes it’s the exact same dial as the Jumbo.

Getting the 15510 Blue adds an incredible watch into your collection to put alongside the ROO 43.

What would you be aiming for next do you think?

Not sure yet but maybe a ROO diver in blue or grey or a RO chrono in green.

I was looking at the WG ROO diver on Subdial recently as it has a ceramic bezel but it doesn’t even look like they cleaned it before photos, really off putting

My wrist, not my watch but I’m a big fan of this one.

I’m a huge fan of the Green ROO Diver but I’m positive we’ll see a ceramic bezel version in all configurations in the next 18-24 months so I’ll personally hold until then. My current Diver is great but it does wear very tall so I take a lot of care to not bash it.

Good call on the ROC with Green/Khaki dial and I love my 50th anniversary Silver dial and it’s balance.

Nice.

Mate has that and it’s his favourite daily watch in a 115 piece collection.

Lovely looking watch and very tempting I think adding that would be a bit of a squeeze right now as I also have a rolex due sometime soon too.

Will keep an eye on it and see if they reduce. I’ve seen subdial reduce things a few times but they never lost it as reduced, just change the price.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to try it on bear in mind that as it’s white gold it’s quite a bit heavier than steel.

Big watch, small dial. It’s a bit confusing how 1mm can make so much difference.

I think ceramic is inevitable too. I tried on the green but think it’s a bit loud for me. Think grey would be a bit flat but I’ve asked to see them both.

Would love for them to bring back the old ceramic and forged carbon ones with a bit of colour.

Agreed I think they need to update these lines with some ceramic at the very least.

I will have a Hard Time saying no to another ceramic/forged carbon model.

I hope they keep any new Diver at 42mm but maybe a slightly less tall profile along with the ceramic bezel.

Very true.

I loved the heft of the WG when I tried this on last year.
